Updated E53 EGS w/SP-Daten 53.3 - now transmission in fail safe mode - BMW forum. Diagnostics, coding, programming, repair BMW vehicles.

It looks like this guy might've had the same issue as you. I know little to nothing about programming but we should start a coding section on here, nearly everything in these cars can be programmed. Anyways maybe shoot that guy a ok if he's still active might be of some assistance.

When I took my 05 4.4 to the friend at the dealership for EGS update, I was told that on 04-06 cars with N62 / ZF6HP-26 cars, you can’t update EGS separately from DME. Therefore, after the update, I got both DME and EGS on the latest version. Took about 35 minutes for update program to complete.

Good day!

I replied to this early this morning, but it didn't get posted for some reason. No worries tho! So, when I got this info, I was completely excited that I would get to drive the X to work tonight (I'm on night shift)... I hooked up the laptop to the X and started everything up. Hooked up the 540i to the X and let the 540i idle... it worked last time when I updated the trans computer (VGSG83), so it should prove sufficient this time too... I pulled up the data in INPA and everything looked good... I opened WinKFP and had to search for the correct module... It doesn't say DME, but instead it was 19EK9284 or something like that... I pulled up the READ UIF and it had the matching info INPA had... HOWEVER, I couldn't find my assembly number in the list and had forgotten how to update to the new one letting the software do the picking... it got late, so I had to pack up in favor of getting some sleep for work! I'm going to start over tomorrow again, but this time I have the procedure... I really hope this works! Really really!

Thanks so much for this valuable info! I do have to ask, are you positive your buddy said the engine processor needed to be updated to filter down to the transmission EGS? I was told to do the trans processor, which I did, but obviously didn't work!

Anyway, I'll let you all know how it goes tomorrow!

Cheers!

I am 100% positive that DME and EGS had to be updated together on e53 with n62 engines. The computer system that dealer used at that time didn't allowed for the separate EGS update. I can't say with the same certainty that WinKFP works the same way, but I was there when he set this job up and BMW service computer only allowed for the combine DME/EGS update. I have no experience updating n62 with WinKFP. I used it successfully on 540i with m62tu engine.
